The region’s U.S. Coast Guard’s command and maintenance center could be coming to the Bridgeville area, but one federal lawmaker is questioning if that’s the best place for it to be located.
The region’s U.S. Coast Guard’s command and maintenance center could be coming to the Bridgeville area, but one federal lawmaker is questioning if that’s the best place for it to be located. Congressman Tim Murphy said the Coast Guard is expected to accept a bid this week to consolidate its three area centers into a building in or around the Chartiers Valley Shopping Center in Collier Township. “I question the wisdom of putting the Coast Guard headquarters so far from the water,” Murphy said in an exclusive interview to Patch.com. “They wanted to be in the Pittsburgh pool. It’s not near there.” Murphy, a Republican from Upper St. Clair, didn’t blame the Coast Guard, but said it’s the federal government’s General Services Administration …

Upper St. Clair commissioners approved the first phase of the Bedner Estates, but the number of homes allowed to be built will be reduced because of the restrictions on the connection to Main Street in Bridgeville.
Upper St. Clair commissioners approved the first phase of the Bedner Estates, but the number of homes that can be built will be reduced because of restrictions to the connection to Main Street in Bridgeville. The first phase of the project includes 25 lots on Diamond and Sapphire courts that will be built by Heartland Homes. The other part of the first phase also includes 21 lots for Thomas Homes. However, township officials said there is a “trigger point” in which the developers can only build a combined total of 30 homes in the phase if the Main Street entrance to Bridgeville isn’t available. And with no in that area, the developers will likely have to negotiate whose plans will be whittled down so the two phases allow for only 30 …
